encourage and keep up races, considering them a good amusement for the people, and one in the enjoyment of which all ranks participated; but it was only when they were properly conducted that he could continue his support to them. He thought if the races were on the hill there would probably be more hells in Cheltenham. Under all the circumstances, he confessed he should have been more pleased if the meeting had agreed to do away with the races. But at the same time, if they were continued, he hoped the meeting would come to some resolution to support the Magistrates. He thought it would be desirable to remove the races from Cheltenham, and establish county races in another part of Gloucestershire upon an extensive scale. Resolutions were eventually agreed upon, regretting the necessity of the Protest, but trusting that, by the assistance of the meeting and other inhabitants of the town which would be afforded the Magistracy, on future occasions all discreditable occurrences would be prevented.

From the closeness with which the preceding match terminated, the greatest interest was excited in the admirers of this manly game, and an immense concourse of spectators assembled to witness its progress. The two elevens were nearly the same as in the former match, Mr. Jenner, Mr. Roper, and Cobbett being substituted for Mr. Ward, Lord Clonbrock, and Wenman on the part of England, and Mr. Jones in the room of Hooker, for Sussex. England went in first, and then game at the commencement was anything but auspicious, the early wickets being rapidly lowered. Pilch and Marsden, however, by their admirable play, changed the face of affairs materially, and before they parted scored upwards of fifty runs-the total for the first innings amounting to 96. Sussex then went in full of confidence, but with the knowledge that they had their work to do against the excellent fielding and bowling of their antagonists. Three of their wickets fell without a notch, when Brown was put in, with a hint that he must play at every ball. This he did resolutely and successfully, and Morley, a "safe wicket," being in with him, they brought the game round, so as to give hopes of conquest, Brown slashing away, and making 34 runs from his own bat. At the "close of day" the wickets were struck, Sussex with one wicket to go down, and 26 behindhand. On Wednesday morning they renewed their innings, and the two wickets marked 9, leaving their opponents 17 a-head. England in their second in The second match between Sussex Mr. Sylvastre, of Hamburgh, has purchased of Mr. Boag, of Rock, a bay mare, Sister to the dam of the Duke of Cleve-go scored but 63, leaving Sussex to go land's Emancipation, price 100gs.; also of in for 80 runs. The commencement Mr. Faucus, of South Charlton, for 150gs. of their second innings was equally the stallion Guerilla, by Partisan out of unfavorable on the part of Sussex Coquette by Dick Andrews. with their first, four wickets falling for as many runs. Brown then went in, on the forlorn hope, to Lennaway, but, in his anxiety to get notches, was shortly run out, and UP was the universal cry-and it was so! The remainder of the Sussex lost their wickets in "double quick time," and Mr. Beardsworth's Ludlow has been purchased by Mr. Dulewski, a Russian Gentleman. After the sale he ran for the Cup at Warwick, which he won, with 60 sovs. in specie, for his new master, beating Liston and Manchester. During the last month the export trade in horses has been very brisk. There was some excellent play on both ssdes, and the fielding of the Yorkists admirable. In the Norfolcians' second innings, when the two Pilches met together, it was a high treat to the lovers of batting-nothing could excel the beauty of their play. Marsden for Sheffield, in his first innings, did not score, but in his second he made 53: Woolhouse marked 31 and 13; Vincent, 19 and 32; Dearman, 14 and 40.-On the Norwich side, the greatest number of notches were got by F. Pilch, 10 and 23; N. Pilch, 10 and 22; Wilkinson, 5 and 25; Pile, 20 and 11; and Roberts, 0 and blishment of the Norfolk Club, proposed to have one of the meetings in the course of the season held at Gunton Park. On the 10th the sixth anniversary was celebrated, and, as usual, various other sports and pastimes were introduced for the amusement of the public, to whom the Park was thrown open. The wickets were pitched at twelve o'clock on the beautiful and contending parties being eleven Etolevel ground in front of the Hall-the nians, Members of the Norfolk Club, against eleven other Members. The Club went in first and scored 80, and the Etonians 150, of which Mr. Kynaston made 46, Mr. Strahan 31, and Mr. H. Jenner 25-thereby heading their opponents by 70. On the fol lowing day the weather was so unfavorable that the match could not be resumed the rustic sports and pastimes were, however, commenced about four o'clock, notwithstanding a heavy rain, which lasted during the whole time.-There was a ball on both even ings at the Hall, each very fully attended by the most respectable families in the neighbourhood. ARCHERY. The Selwood Foresters held their last meeting for the season on the 28th of August at Stourhead. The morning dawned propitious. From Alfred's Tower, "bosom'd high in tufted trees," the signal flag, unfurled, wafted a proud and promptly accepted challenge from the bold Bowmen of Wilts to the renowned Archers of the Vales of Somerset and Dorset, inviting them to a trial of skill on the same spot where their rude forefathers met at the call of a Patriot Monarch to repel the invaders of their country. The meeting was by far the most brilliant of the re-unions of the Selwood Foresters, whose silver crescent, unlike its changeful prototype, has never waned, and now bids fair to realise its hopeinspiring motto, Crescat," in the accomplishment of which every admirer of this elegant and social amusement will heartily join. A large party assembled, and shooting commenced at one o'clock, and continued till near eight. The first prizes were the "Alfred bows," given by the Society, and impressed in gold with their device and cipher, won by Miss Selwyn and Lord Charles Thynne. The second Society's prize, a rare Scotch Thistle, fresh from Cairn Gouram, bedewed and glittering in its native gems, was won by Miss Davies. The Lady Patroness's prize, for the second-best shooter, a beautiful locket, was won by Miss Talbot. After dinner, an embroidered cap, acquiring sevenfold interest from having been worked by the fair hands of seven young Ladies of the Society, with a silken work-bag, given by Miss Benett, of Pythouse, were shot for and won -the former, at a hundred paces, by Mr. Bailward; the latter, by Miss Hobhouse, at the usual distance. A set of Turquoise combs, presented by Mrs. Seymour, of Knoyle House, was shot for and won by Miss Talbot, the lovely and fortunate winner of several of the Society's prizes precluding her from the outward circles, but of course improving her acquaintance with the gold. When the company could no longer see to shoot, dancing commenced in the Pavilion, and was kept up to a late hour with a buoyancy of youthful spirit, untired by the previous exertions of the morning. The Herefordshire Bowmen met for the second time on the 28th of August at the Hill Court, near Ross, the seat of Kingsmill Evans, Esq. .The meeting was numerously attended by the Members of the Society; among whom were Lord Eastnor, Lady Emily and Mr. Foley, M.P., Sir R. Price, M.P., Sir George Cornewall, Sir John Geers Cotterell and family, Mrs. Hanbury of Shobbon Court, the Lady Paramount for the year, &c. The company assembled at one o'clock, and soon afterwards the shooting commenced, which continued till near eight. The Lady Paramount then distributed the prizes, the elegance of which, and the good taste displayed by Mrs. Hanbury in their selection, were highly extolled. The first Lady's prize was awarded to Mrs. Charles Walcott; second, to Mrs. Scudamore, of Kentchurch Park :-the first Gen tleman's prize to Colonel Drummond, of Underdown; and the second to the Rev. K. E. Money. The delighted party then repaired to the house. Lady Emily Foley opened the ball, which was continued with great spirit until a late hour, when the company separated, delighted with the pleasures of the day and the polite and obliging attentions of the worthy entertainer. On the following day (the 29th) the West Somerset Archers closed their meetings for the year. The day being fine occasioned a brilliant assembly of Archers, who exhibited their skill at the target with admirable precision. The prizes were severely contested. The Ladies' was won by Miss Jemima Guerin; the Gentlemen's, being a handsome bow presented by the excellent President, Mr. Popham by Mr. R. Bower. Among the company were, Sir J. Trevelyan, Sir T. B. Lethbridge, Sir R. Seppings, Lady Slade, Mr. Carew (the original proposer of the meetings), Mr. Tynte, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Bickham Escott, &c. The evening concluded as usual with a ball in the tent. On the 6th of September a meeting of the Society of Royal British Bowmen took place at Condover Park, near Shrewsbury, the beautiful mansion of E. W. Smythe Owen, Esq. In addition to the Members of the Society about 200 of the Nobility and Gentry of the county and the Principality were present, besides a countless assemblage of respectable persons from Shrewsbury and its vicinity, who were admitted into the elegant demesne to witness the skill of the Archers. More than 200 of the Society and guests, including Lord Hill, Sir W. W. Wynne, Sir Rowland Hill, and members of the principal families in Shropshire and North Wales, partook of the refreshments provided in the tent; and Lord Hill, on proposing "All friends round the Wrekin," took occasion to mention how partial His Majesty was to all remembrances connected with the county of Salop and the Principality, in which district the Society of Royal British Bowmen was formed and continued to flourish. His Lordship also proposed the health of Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, introducing it with an appropriate |
